Linda Diederichs Obituary
On June 1, 2017 our angel, Linda, went home to be with the Lord. There she will rejoice with her Mom (Merle), Dad (Herb), brother (John), husband (Bill) and many other relatives and friends. Linda is survived by her son, Mark Kittinger (Stella), step-daughter Sandi (Jose) and grandchildren, Austin, Brandon, Michael, Eric and her brother Paul (Lori).
Born October 22, 1949, Linda spent her life in the Seattle/Shoreline area and worked for WAMU and Homestreet Bank. After an inspiring 6 year battle, cancer finally took her life. Her passions included family and friends, gardening, quilting and collecting hearts. She lived a life of love and will be GREATLY missed.
Funeral mass will be held on Thursday, June 15 at 11:00 AM at St. Luke's in Shoreline.

I just today found out about Linda's passing. Linda and her husband Bill were the kindest most generous human beings that it has ever been my pleasure to know.
I am sorry to have missed the memorial and just want to say that Linda will be sorely missed.

I am terribly sorry I missed the service! Linda and I met on the 301 downtown bus, started talking flowers and that was our bond! I would run into her at Fred's occasionally, and we would chit chat for a bit! RIP

Paul, I didn't hear of Linda's passing until the day of the funeral. I wish I had known earlier as I would have dropped in to see her. She and I would often ride the bus from downtown together and catch up on family and neighbor news. Last I saw her several months ago at Freddy she was looking very tired but still had her usual smile. Now she is resting with other loved ones. I am so sorry, I had no idea when I honked at you at Tim's just days after her passing. Love and hugs, Carol.

So sorry for your loss. I worked with Linda at WaMu. I walked by her house often as I had a friend that lived near her. She will be missed.

I worked with Linda for many years at WaMu. Linda D, as everyone called her, was one of the kindest, sweetest women I've ever known. God bless you, Mark and family. May you find peace that she is no longer suffering.
